West Virginia defensive lineman Darius Stills tired of being overlooked

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Darius Stills doesn’t have any resentment toward it anymore, but he realizes he’s lived in the shadow of little brother Dante for a long time.

Dante had to pick between major Power 5 offers — such as Oklahoma, Florida and Penn State — before deciding to stay home at West Virginia, and those offers began to roll in when he was a 16-year-old at Fairmont Senior.

Darius, on the other hand, had a more difficult time getting looks at the Power 5 level, and because of that, made a quick decision he ended up regretting during the recruitment process.
